Hamam

What is a Hammam?

The hammam, also known as the Turkish hammam or Turkish bath, is the Middle Eastern variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna.The hammam is one of the oldest cleaning traditions in the world. This authentic steam experience from the middle east cleans both body and soul and inspired us to combine it with delicious luxury treatments.

The Turkish Hammam.

The Turkish Hammam is essentially different from the sauna culture as we know it in the Netherlands. The Hammam is not a sauna but a steam bath, which is very humid. Where the sauna reaches an air humidity of 10% to 20%, the Hammam quickly rises to 98%. Although the temperature in a sauna is often higher (70 ° C to 100 ° C), a steam bath (around 50 ° C) feels hotter.

What do you do in a Hammam?

Upon arrival you will be escorted to the dressing room. There is a bathrobe ready for you. First you can take a seat in the steam bath. This is to open the pores of the skin, and to “soak” your body. Then you will be scrubbed with a glove of braided horsehair or with specially developed scrub salt. It just depends on which treatment you have chosen. If you have opted for the foam-or the relax treatment, you will receive a delicious soap massage after the scrub. With the aid of an air pocket you are richly buried under foam bubbles that will relax body and mind.
